From the reviews
My 3 kids have been training with Master Steve for many years. I have seen them evolve from beginners to advanced levels. Master Steve is excellent at making the classes interesting, educational and what he teaches can be applied in real life self defense situations.
I did the 6 week challenge last Summer 2017 at Haritos Martial Arts in Cliffside Park NJ, and now I have been attending the Summer Fitness kickboxing classes since March 2018 and I have to say I absolutely LOVE coming here. Master Steve and Cindy are the best at what they do.
My children went to Haritos Martial Arts and now my grandchildren do too! This school’s technique of teaching through games is affective and fun. I highly recommend it.
I highly recommend Haritos Martial Arts! My son was 4 years old when we enrolled and we have been there for over a year now. It has taught my son discipline and how to focus. Master Steve is a great guy who has a way of teaching children with a masterful mix of tough love while still incorporating fun into his lessons.
New to kickboxing? Start at Haritos Martial Arts
Haritos Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Haritos Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
